The population of a certain country is approximated by the f

The population of a certain country is approximated by the following equation, where x is the number of years since 1980 and P is the population in millions P=2.748x + 126.199 Determine the year in which the country had or will have the population of 206,123,000 Show your work

Solution

Solution:- P = 2.748 x +126.199

206.123 = 2.748 x + 126.199

2.748 x = 206.123 - 126.199 = 79.924

x = 79.924/2.748 = 29.08 years

year = 1980 + 29.08 = 2009.08
